I just went to the Atticus Metal Tour last night and the opening band was Stray from the Path. I had never heard of them before but they blew my mind and I'm currently really digging their sound. What's the general consensus of them around here? I feel like more people should hear about them.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:So, any tips on going to a concert yourself? I've never done it before. Is it considered loserish? I go to shows by myself all the time. It's a lot of fun. You usually end up meeting quite a few people since there's always an obvious common interest. Just wear a familiar band shirt, comment on somebody else's that has good taste, and take it off from there. I like going to shows by myself because I'm not held back by anyone and can just bumrush right to the front stage.

Holy poo poo I just got a chance to listen to this album today. I only liked one or two songs off Minus the Herd and was kind of sad that they decided to drift into a less 'manic' direction. This album however is loving insanity, I didn't think you could make something more pissed off-sounding than Solace.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Yeah, that's exactly what i was talking about. I'll listen to mirrors again sometime soon and see if it grabs me, it just didnt before. Misery Signals hasn't written a single bad song. All their albums are different, which makes it tricky to get into each one since you have to expect something different each time. I listened to them before Controller came out, so when I first heard it, the album took me a couple of listens before it clicked and I realized how brilliant it was. The only thing I don't like about their second album is the producing. It's a little too distorted and loud. Despite that, the song 'The Failsafe' is one of my favorite songs of all time. The breakdown in that song makes me want to hurt things. Also, someone introduced me to this band earlier in this thread and they need another plug in case some people still haven't checked them out, they are loving amazing and deserve more widespread recognition. Listen to Elitist: http://www.myspace.com/theelitistband Check out the tracks 'Array' and 'Caves.' If those don't get your head bobbing, I don't know what will.

OnlyJuanMon posted:Can I ask....seeing as how Emmure pretty much encompasses every modern deathcore trait out there, why is the designated deathcore SA thread so down on em? I don't really know. Personally I am an irredeemably huge fan of Emmure and their new album so far has been pretty rocking and grooving to me. They put on fun shows and generally have a good energy to them. Sure they aren't doing mad crazy riffing like Animals as Leaders, but I don't expect them to. Sometimes I like simplistic fun stuff, and Emmure fits that category perfectly.

Traitorous Leopard posted:Anyone got any recommendations for some melodic metalcore kinda like Misery Signals and The Ghost Inside? I've been on a stint of their stuff lately and want more. Those are two of my favorite bands, it's surprisingly hard to find bands with similar sounds. You will most definitely enjoy Counterparts, who are playing with Shai Hulud currently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoDCo3t9yQo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjOUtX7TeP8 and Elitist, though they are a bit more on the August Burns Red side of things, they definitely share the same type of sound with TGI and Misery Signals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFcTjnHnSQ8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbX91gbJueA I found both of these bands thanks to this thread.  Also, is anyone else going to the Parkway Drive / The Ghost Inside show in New York this Saturday? I am starting to reach inhuman levels of pumped-up-ness for this show.

Beneath the Massacre - Nevermore (1:16) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3E-kKDEKcs Live video kinda sucks but I couldn't find anything better on youtube except for an older version on the song. Despised Icon - Day of Mourning (2:18) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEM9W14TsWQ I got to see this song live once (RIP) and it made the whole room explode. loving surreal. All in all, I'd have to say Despised Icon, The Ghost Inside, and August Burns Red make my favorite breakdowns.

unhwillneverwin posted:If you haven't had the chance, you have to see Converge live. I saw them for the 4th time in Cambrige, Mass and they loving slayed like always. For a band in their mid-30's, their intensity has never wavered. Can't believe the band is 20 years old already. Despite being a creepy looking motherfucker, Jake Bannon still has the integrity to go balls out every show. The relativly new album Axe to Fall sounds great live, and I know the band would rather quit than just go through the motions on stage. gently caress you, I was so down to go to that show but I was a loving idiot and waited too long to buy tickets and it got sold out.  I hope they come around again, Converge was one of the first live acts I ever saw when I was younger, and they are amazing. I don't think Converge has ever made a weak album, definitely one of my favorite bands.

Surprisingly, Frankie's actually a kind of nice guy, at least as far as the few moments that I talked to him are concerned. I told him I enjoyed the show after a concert and he gave me a pretty sincere thank you and a handshake. Jesse on the other hand is a lot more... distant? Also gently caress yes for living in Boston. Dillinger Escape Plan, BTBAM, and Animals as Leaders all under one roof? Holy loving poo poo yes.

Can any of you guys help me find my "ideal" band? I've been listening to whatever-core for a couple of years, and as much as I love the genre, I haven't exactly found a band that fit within these certain boundaries: In short, I'm looking for some group that is equal parts super harmonic with lots of interesting melodies and cool harmonies, but also have ridiculously heavy breakdowns. In terms of the former part, bands that come to mind that fit that bill are groups like Counterparts, or Elitist. Lots of minor ninths and stuff. As for the second part, I like stupidly heavy breakdowns, like Despised Icon, The Ghost Inside, and what not. I think the closest I've found is probably An American Shootout, a loving awesome band that not enough people know about : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rKQ2NrIdCE Unfortunately it wants me leaving a little more on the harmonic aspects and the production quality is pretty poor. August Burns Red also comes close to fitting that bill, but they're too mathy. Counterparts doesn't have enough breakdowns. I love all these bands, but I'm trying to find the one that hits all those points. Anyone have any clues?

I won't lie, Emmure is pretty awful but I loving love them none the less. Their shows are always fun to see live and their music gets me moving. Plus despite how crazy Frankie might actually seem, I met him once and he came across as a surprisingly nice and sincere guy, he seemed pretty grateful when I told him I enjoyed the show. Also krustster posted:I think Heart In Hand might be up your alley, my son. These guys are loving awesome. This is drat near close to the mark. They could stand to be a little more heavy in order to perfectly hit that spot, but they are sick eitherway. They'll probably be on my Spotify playlist for a while.

I'm glad a lot of people are digging it Etoo. Edit 2: Just listened to the whole thing, gotta say that Blackheart Reigns is my favorite track off there.

I asked this a couple of months back and got a good recommendation or two, figure I'll try again and see if anybody can nail this request this time: I'm looking for something that sounds pretty much just like Counterparts or Heart in Hand, just a bit heavier. Seriously, Counterparts comes so close to hitting that mark, but I feel like they hold back and aren't as heavy as they could possibly be, at least for my personal tastes. Anyone have any ideas? I hope I'm not being too ambiguous.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Misery Signals. Specifically their last album "Controller". I absolutely love Misery Signals, although they don't hit the mark either, though they come pretty drat close too. Somethings perhaps a little bit less technical or clean, but rather more gritter and heavier. Their album Mirrors is more or less what I'm talking about, specifically songs like Anchors or Sword of Eyes. Maybe a bit more minor 7ths and 9ths. Gotta love those minor 7ths and 9ths

Holy gently caress, Alex Erian and Phil Bozeman both on the same track? That's one of the most insane things I've heard in a while. Also, my friend's band is opening for The Last Ten Seconds of Life/Bermuda/King Conquer on Sunday. Been listening to The Last Ten Seconds of Life a ton these last couple of weeks, should be a pretty sick show.

So Acacia Strain was loving awesome, like you guys said they started with Doomblade, then went into Dr Doom and Hills Have Eyes. Everything else was a blur. They only played one other song off the new album, then played a ton of old poo poo and a ton of tracks off Wormwood. The other bands were pretty sick too. No Bragging Rights was fun, Fit for an Autopsy was awesome, and the singer from I Declare War has serious crazy eyes

Currently going through the new PWD. Some of these tracks are awesome, other tracks sound too much like old songs that it's a little annoying. Like, The River sounds a ton like Idols and Anchors, or at least the chord changes do. Swing, on the other hand, is an absolutely killer song, what a crazy track.

Can anyone recommend similar sounding things to Elitist's latest album? Last time I asked this question I got recommended Heart in Hand, Heartless, and The Divided, which were loving excellent recommendations (as well as bands I'm already familiar with like Counterparts and Misery Signals). Reshape Reason just hits such a perfect sweet spot for me of melodic-ness with awesome breakdowns while also adding some technicality without being overbearing.

Anyone else check out the remastered version of The Somatic Defilement by Whitechapel? It's probably my favorite release by them, and it sounds excellent. It's clean and sounds well produced, but is barely different from the original in any aspect that's not production, so it's not jarringly different at all.

What do you guys think of the new Stray from the Path track? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxnjdXOxLCU I'm not... really sure how I feel about it? Like, it sounds like they're trying to be RATM way too hard. It's a cool and fun sound, but I much more preferred when they were trying to be Converge instead. The track on its own is fun and all but if the whole album is like this, I'll be a little upset.

The new Misery Signals is loving fantastic. It's different enough that it's clear they weren't just sitting around but actually really trying to push their sound, but at the same time it sounds very familiar and very much like the Misery Signals I know and love. I got to catch a couple of the songs live for the first time last week on the second day of their tour. I was right up front and center, probably the best spot in the entire room. It was an incredible experience to say the least, the new songs absolutely tore it up live. Edit: For some reason this made me want to go listen to 7 Angels 7 Plagues. I had never noticed this before: in the lyrics to Someday, there's the line: "Tormented by my every undying devotion to you," which is also in Nothing off Controller. I'm guessing it's some sort of homage? That's pretty awesome reversefungi fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Jul 22, 2013 |

Zodijackylite posted:I saw the tour in Worcester a few days ago. Since it's a long drive we didn't catch the whole day. I was at that Worcester show too, pretty much perfectly captured my thoughts on these bands. Overall I was a little let down by Summer Slaughter this year, there felt like there was something missing from the crowd. On the other hand, the South of the Border tour was loving fantastic. Within the Ruins and Obey the Brave tore the place down, and all the other bands put on great shows as well. Also that Animals as Leaders review is loving hilarious. I like Animals as Leaders but I cannot for the life of me get excited to see them live. You see em once and pretty much know what to expect for every single future show, the energy usually dampens significantly during sets, it can be a mood killer sometimes.

I remember feeling really underwhelmed by that one track they had posted up earlier, but the other track they have available on Spotify, "Of Fearful Men", kicks tons of rear end.

I'm really digging the latter half of the album. I'm a huge Emmure fan, but the whole "Bring a Gun to School" track title and him throwing the word "human being" on one of the songs is really killing Emmure for me. I've always been unashamedly a huge fan of them despite knowing how trashy they can be, but man do they make it really hard to be fans of their music when they pull stuff like this.

Kingnothing posted:Hateful human being or ironic? Haven't listened yet, but knowing them it could be either way. The line is something like "I'm the realest motherfucker in the game. I see you faggots moving ??? selling all your bullshit eggs(?)" So it sounds pretty hateful but I'm not sure about the entire context of the song, perhaps he's mocking someone? No way to tell until the lyrics fully come out, but it's not good. Man if it wasn't for that line and the first song title this album would actually be pretty kick rear end, there are lots of cool moments scattered throughout it.

What do people think of the new Acacia Strain? Although it gets repetitive towards the end, the first half is loving CRUSHING. I really enjoyed it, it sounds more like a return to Continents-era Acacia Strain with a couple of new tricks up their sleeve. The song "Send Help" absolutely slays.
